The Shaker Heights City Council convened a work session on May 11, 2026 and spent the evening receiving staff briefings and asking follow-up questions on multiple items. Staff presented a proposed zoning approach for cannabis dispensaries (conditional use in commercial districts and buffer/spacing rules), a police update on a directed traffic-enforcement initiative, a temporary staffing plan for First Call after Recovery Resources disbanded, and contract changes and audit steps for the Flock license-plate camera system. The council asked for additional material, directed staff to proceed with the Planning Commission schedule for the dispensary text amendment, requested a dedicated work session on First Call strategy and liability, and asked the police department to provide electronic copies of the Flock handouts and continued audit results. "No action is required for today," the mayor said; the meeting adjourned after calendar items were read.
